This is a very ornate and colourful Holy Cow on wheels. This is a very old and very brightly painted wooden toy that would have been a prized possession. Scaramanga are very pleased to be offering these rare and unusual items. This Holy Cow is mounted on 4 wheels. Colour Holy Cow on wheels size: (w)30cm x (d)29cm x (h)33cm A bit of historical reference:On most cultures the cow has been a symbol of wealth since ancient days. In India although the cow is held sacred to the Hindus, it is not exactly worshipped as a deity. A cow in Hindu India is kind like a sheep is to Christianity. If you ever get the opportunity to visit India then you’ll notice cows everywhere. No just in fields …but everywhere. This is because the cow is respected as a sacred animal, it's allowed to roam unharmed, and they are pretty used to the traffic and the rhythm of the city. You can see cows roaming the streets in towns and cities, grazing unmindfully on the roadside grass verges and munching away vegetables thrown out by street sellers. Note: Our vintage and antique wooden items are not new or made to look old. They may have small marks and scratches on them, which are consistent with their age and original use. We feel these add to their character and appeal. Please look at the photos to get an idea of their condition.
